Hi Guys

Didnt mean to stir up a Hornets Nest I was just added
this Warning as cautionary Measure as the Ju88 does Not By Default come with a Generic Skin so unofficial skins other than those supplied with the game are deemed un-acceptable by Steam to be used Online and may result in a VAC Ban[Valve Anti Cheat].
However an official skin can be used in any way,even with a Swastika[I think]
but any should be O.K Offline.
If uncertain check with Senior Moderators for exact Rules.
The choice is yours I just felt it was right to advise on the risks of using an un-official Skin Online
Cheers
Keith

Keith, its a great skin and you did a wonderful job. Its historically accurate, as it should be. I doubt there are many 70-90 year old simmers who lived through the conflict that are playing the game. We all need to respect peoples points of view. I just don't believe in dumbing down history because some might get offended. Books, reference materials, etc, are full of period photographs showing swastikas and german tactical emblems which some might find offensive, I just don't believe we can structure the world or history so that no one ever gets hurt feelings.

Hi priller26
Thanks a lot buddy Glad you like it.
Its a piece of History and as you say we cant paint over it because it may offend,we are not putting these symbols here on Purpose to upset people
this is purely for Historical accuracy and to be honest 90% of People will view it in that context.
There is to much Political Correctness lately and even people immediatly effected by this Regime are Sensible enough to know that any portrayal of that period in History has to be done 100% correct "Warts and All" in fact they would probably insist on it.
Regards
Keith
